As for letter-spacing, wouldn't it be a lot more useful if it joined the >> letters with a longer line (tatweel-like), not leaving a space between them? I think those are used to separate visually, not logically. Why should positive paddings / margins be treated differently from negative or zero-width ones? BTW anyway, same rules should apply to Hebrew final letters preceded by paddings / margins. Regards, Lina
